Valentine’s Day rolls around on February 14 each year, but did you know that the day before it is another love-filled holiday? February 13, otherwise known as Galentine’s Day, is a time to show the women in your life just how much you love them and celebrate your friendship. After all, friendships are just as important (if not more important sometimes) as romantic relationships.
Galentine’s Day was actually created by Leslie Knope — yes, the Parks and Rec character played by Amy Poehler. She decided that the day before Valentine’s Day was meant for “ladies celebrating ladies,” and she and her friends spend the day brunching and having some quality time together.
Even though it’s not an official holiday, it’s a great time to spend some time with your gal pals and maybe even treat them to a little something. Whether you want to gift an accessory, some new clothes, home décor, and of course, women-owned businesses, we’ve rounded up products in varying categories and at different price points for any kind of girlfriend.
Best Galentine’s Day Gifts
Oui the People Big Mood Bath Soak
Oui the People
There’s not much a hot bath can’t fix, especially when it’s full of this bath salt. Not only does the bath soak contain skin-loving ingredients like magnesium and potassium, it can also help relieve tense muscles, sending stress down the drain.
Outdoor Voices Pickup 1/2 Zip
Outdoor Voices
There’s no such thing as too many cozy sweatshirts, and we stand by that statement. This half-zip is a modern update on the hoodie, and a slight crop makes it feel fresh without showing too much skin. Plus, the zipper makes it easy to get on and off without messing up your hair.
Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag
Lululemon
For girls on the go, a belt bag is a useful and stylish accessory. Not only does it allow her to carry all her essentials hands free, but it will also help keep her organized. There are three mesh pockets on the inside and one zip pocket on the outside to keep her phone within reach at all times.
Cozy Earth Plush Lounge Sock
Cozy Earth
It may be a small gift, but warm and cozy socks are great for just about any time of year. These ones from Cozy Earth are made from bamboo, which is super soft and easier on the environment. Plus, they could be paired with some chunky sneakers if you feel like recreating a Princess Diana look.
Everlane Do-It-All Tote
Everlane
The name of this bag says it all: It can indeed do it all. It’s made from recycled water bottles, which helps keep waste out of the landfill. It can be worn crossbody or as a shoulder bag, and it’s even machine-washable.
Maude Burn Massage Candle
Maude
Give her something both she and her partner can enjoy on Valentine’s Day or beyond. Not only does this candle smell amazing (although there is an unscented version), but the melted wax can be used as a massage oil, too.
Parachute Cloud Cotton Robe
Parachute
There’s nothing like wrapping up in a snuggly robe on a chilly day — or spending the whole day on the couch while wearing it. This one is made with buttery-soft linen, which is cool enough to wear on a warm day, but still keeps you warm on cooler days, too.
Our Place Drinking Glasses
Our Place
Pink-hued drinking glasses are the perfect addition to any bar cart or open shelving situation. These four glasses stack for convenient storage, and they’re also the perfect size for a cocktail. Did we mention they’re also made from recycled glass?
Bearaby x S’well Bundle
Bearaby
It’s a little pricey for a gift, but it’s all worth it for your galentine. This limited edition collaboration between weighted blanket maker Bearaby and water bottle brand S’well includes a gorgeous velvet weighted blanket and a matching steel water bottle and holder.
Twine Rustic Farmhouse: Slate Cheese Board
Walmart
No party is complete without a charcuterie board. Give your gal pal a rustic gift with this slate and twine cheese board. It comes with chalk so each different snack can be labeled, and it’s easy to wipe away the names once you’re done.
Gorjana Wilshire Charm Adjustable Necklace
Gorjana
Like your friendship, a circle has no end, and this necklace can be a symbol of just how much you and your friend love each other. The interlocking circles can represent the two of you, without looking like a hokey friendship bracelet. The necklace comes in silver and gold, so you can pick a color based on you and your friend’s preferences.
